Externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?

When used with a heart attack patient who is suffering form arrhythmia or who's heart has stopped completely. The defibrillator causes the muscles of the heart contract, (hopefully) and to return to its normal rhythmic pattern.
How many watts are in defibrillator?
The AED output is in joules (J); an energy output. Energy is an Amp Ohm divided by time. Although AED's may vary on their output, depending on numerous criteria, some AED's will shock at 200J, then 300J, then 360J.
Why is the heart actually stopped when the defibrillator pads are applied?
Defibrillation depolarizes all of the heart tissue at once. This usually will terminate abnormal heart rhythms with the hope that a normal one will take over.

What is designed for use by nonprofessionals and externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
It is called an AED; automated external defibrillator.

defibrillator
How has energy saved lives?
When doctors use a heart defibrillator it sends energy currents through the body and helps restore a normal heart rate or will send currents to the heart to get it working again thus preventing death.
What is designed for use by nonprofessionals to externally shock the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
It is called an AED; automated external defibrillator.
What is the purpose of the defibrillator?
to detect and stop serious ventricular arrhythmias and restore a normal heartbeat in people who are at high risk of sudden death
Which is designed for use by nonprofessionals that externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
It's called an AED; automated external defibrillator.
What does the medical abbreviation AED mean?
AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator, which is a portable device used to deliver an electric shock to the heart to help restore normal rhythm in cases of cardiac arrest.
What is the medical term meaning An electrical shock delivered to the heart to correct certain abnormal heart rhythms?
A defibrillator is a device used to deliver a shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm.
What do defibrillator do to the heart pump?
'shock' the irregular rythme hopefully back into a normal one
What are the three functions of fat in a rat's body?
For all mammals, the three functions of fat in the body are to provide energy, to absorb vitamins, and to sustain a normal body temperature.
What does the defibrillator do when someone dies?
If someone is clinically dead, a defibrillator will actually do absolutely nothing. What is does do is shock an irregular heart beat back into sinus rhythm (a normal beat) that would otherwise lead to death.
